Chair of Trustees Report – October 2025

I am pleased to report the last financial year was another successful one for The Henhayes Centre, with our staff and volunteers being essential to this continued success. They all work extremely hard to ensure the centre is warm and welcoming, providing good food and entertainment and making sure it is a place that people want to spend their time. The Henhayes Centre is once again in a good financial position and our draft accounts for 2024/25 which have unfortunately not yet been received from Chalmers are due to show a profit. If anyone would like to view the accounts then once received they will be available from the office and once finalised and signed by the trustees will be uploaded to The Charity Commission so they can then be viewed online. We will endeavour to answer all questions to the best of our ability and anything we cannot answer we will consult Chalmers to gather the correct information.

The Centre remains busy with all the groups, sessions and café area continuing to be well attended, with on average 237 older people using the Henhayes Centre each week, with another 150 from the wider community using the centre in the evenings and at weekends for hires. Due to class numbers the time of the Thursday PhysioFit class had to be moved to ensure the group could use The Willow Room as there was no longer enough space in the Oak/Walnut, and as from November we will be launching a 3[rd] Memory Group called Memory Lane as our other two groups are at capacity. Chair Yoga, which had started off slow now regularly has 17 people attending on a Wednesday with the Friday class is also growing in number. Live at Lunch is still going from strength to strength with a regular crowd of up to 40 attending each week, Conversational French now has a group of 17 regulars meeting to chat in French, and Meet, Greet & Eat on a Friday continues to be popular with up to 20 people attending each week for games and lunch. Further information about all our core activities and everything that is offered at the Henhayes Centre can be found in our brochure which is available from reception.

Our Big Breakfast and Big Roast Lunch fundraisers have continued to be very popular, and we are now holding a Big Breakfast every other month and a Big Roast Lunch twice a year – one in the summer and one at Christmas time. Our next Big Breakfast is on Saturday 29[th] November and will be the Big Christmas Breakfast, Craft Fair and Grotto, an event which usually proves to be one of the busiest of the year, and our next Big Roast Lunch is Sunday 14[th] December with booking for this now open.

Kyra has now returned from her 9-month maternity leave following the birth of her baby girl, and Kate who was her cover during this time has now joined us a permanent member of staff to help Stephanie with certain admin tasks, Lindsay within the busy memory groups and to also cover reception during times we have no volunteers.

Caroline, one of our wonderful chefs, left us last week having been at the Henhayes Centre in one role or another for 16 years. She really will be missed by all staff, volunteers and trustees as well as by our customers. Her replacement is a lovely lady called Diana who previously worked for many years as a chef at Oscars, she has already fitted in to the team really well and is doing a great job in the kitchen.

We received some very sad news last week as one of our volunteers, Hilary Copson, has passed away following a very short illness. Hilary was an amazing lady, helping at least once a week in the kitchen and she really will be missed by us all.

Over the last year we’ve had 3 of our Trustees step down, Laura Staples felt that due to no longer living or working in Crewkerne she was unable to give as much time, Brian McNeill decided it was time to step down due to no longer being able to do as much as he once did, and Ron Spencer, who has been involved with The Henhayes Centre and the old Crewkerne District Day Centre since its early days retired in September. Ron has been a huge asset to the centre, and we thank him for all he has done for us over the many years.

These resignations opened up three places on our Board of Trustees, however we have already been lucky enough to have interest in the positions from Mike Montegue, Andrew Goodwin and Rosan Cosgrove who would all be pleased to join our board and become a part of the Henhayes Team, they will shortly say a few words about themselves and what they can offer The Henhayes Centre and then if the remainder of the board are happy they will be elected later in the AGM.

In July we celebrated 50 years of The Henhayes Centre, formerly known as Crewkerne District Day Centre. The anniversary was marked by a wonderful fundraising gala evening and also a fantastic open day. These events were brilliant and with the help of Crewkerne Rotary District raised over £1600.00 for the centre.

Last financial year (2024/25) it cost over £131,000.00 to run the Henhayes Centre and so fundraising and grants continue to be financially key to keeping the Centre running and without such support we would not be able to operate. In 2024/25 we were fortunate to receive grants from Crewkerne Town Council of £500.00, Conrad Energy of £1000.00, Somerset Community Foundation of £4000.00 and SCF Warm Spaces of £4000.00. We also received donations of £500.00 from Care South, £350.00 from Joe Lee, £200.00 from The Rotary Club of Crewkerne and £50.00 from Crewkerne Gardening Club. These grants and donations really have made such a difference to the running of the Henhayes Centre and the services we offer.

I and Stephanie would like to take this opportunity to thank Alan Read, our Vice Chair, for all he does as he is always on hand to help out and cover shifts as well as usually being very busy with jobs around the Centre, most recently helping a team of volunteers from B&Q to decorate the Willow Room and the ceiling in reception, he dedicated his entire weekend to oversee and contribute to this decoration and we are more than thankful to him. We are also extremely grateful to B&Q Yeovil for all their efforts and all the equipment and prizes that they have donated to us. They have saved us more that £2000.00 in labour and material costs.

Thanks must once again must be given to Stuart Prince for all his hard work throughout the Centre, he volunteers his time each morning for cleaning and caretaking as well as for helping at most events, the money saved by not having to pay out on a cleaner is huge and about £3000 a year, he makes a massive difference to not only the financial situation of the centre but to our staff and volunteers with all his help.

I must also thank my fellow trustees for all their help, volunteering and support over the last year, and special thanks must also go to all our wonderful and dedicated volunteers who give their time week after week to help at the centre, be that as part of a group, on reception or in in the kitchen and behind the bar. They are all fantastic. I must also thank our paid staff for all they do , they are a wonderful team and all work together for the benefit of the centre.

The Henhayes Centre

Trustees' Annual Report

Year ended 30 April 2025

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Reference and administrative details

Registered charity name The Henhayes Centre Charity registration number 1181781 Principal office and registered The Henhayes Centre office South Street Car Park Crewkerne Somerset TA18 8DA The trustees RJ Prince LEM Staples BAS McNeil R Scrivens EM Jones RE Spencer ND Udall

Structure, governance and management

The Henhayes Centre was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation and is governed by its document dated 22 April 2021. It was previously registered as a charity with the registered charity number of 269179. The assets and surplus were transferred to the CIO at 22 April 2021.

Reference and administrative details including the principle office address and details of trustees who served the charity during the period and up to the date of signing are shown above.

Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Governing document. Formal trustee training is provided on an ad hoc basis as required. All strategic decisions are taken by the trustees, but day-to- day operating decisions relating to ‘The Henhayes Centre’ are delegated to staff.

The Trustees continue to review the major risks to which the charity is exposed, covering all identified, relevant areas including financial risk and risks associated with personnel. Risks have been identified, assessed and safeguards have been put in place to eliminate or mitigate such risks as far as is reasonably possible.

In the management of the Charity and the preparation of these accounts the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Governance Code.

Objectives and activities

The main charitable objectives of the CIO are to provide a building and facilities to elderly and disabled people. This includes the provision of advocacy, advice and information. The building is also available to the wider community for hire.

The CIO provides a range of regular activities for both members and non-members. In carrying out these objectives the Trustees have paid due regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Volunteers

The charity uses volunteers where necessary to minimise costs.

Achievements and performance

The last financial year has been another successful one for The Henhayes Centre, with our staff and volunteers being key to this success. They all work extremely hard to ensure the centre is warm and welcoming, providing good food and entertainment and making sure it is a place that people want to come because they enjoy being here so much.

As reported by Stephanie in her most recent Managers Report the Centre continues to be busy with all the groups and sessions continuing to be well attended, so well attended that the time of the Thursday PhysioFit class had to be amended to ensure the group could use The Willow Room, Mondays class is being monitored in case that also has to move to an alternative slot.

Kate, who is covering Kyra’s maternity leave is doing very well and has quickly become a valued member of our team. We are very pleased with her recruitment.

As advised by Briony at Chalmers Stephanie has been monitoring the finances and our VATable activities remain under the threshold, prices for all our health & wellbeing classes are due to rise from April 1[st] and going forward we will hold off on price increases for our other activities. Membership only went up in October so there is no need for it to rise for a while.

Big Breakfast and Big Roast Lunch fundraisers continue to be busy and enjoyable events, over the next year we will hold a breakfast every other month and 2 roast lunches – one being in June and then the other a Christmas one in December.

Christmas 2024 was a massive success, and everyone involved should be extremely proud of the food and events provided by the centre. We served 78 breakfasts at the Big Christmas Breakfast and 278 Christmas meals during Christmas Lunch Week, these are record breaking numbers and just goes to show how popular The Henhayes Centre now is.

We are excited for July and the 50[th] Anniversary celebrations which are all organised. There will be a gala evening on July 5[th] and an open day with music on July 12[th] . These are not aimed to raise money but more to raise awareness of the centre and to celebrate the huge achievement of running for 50 years. The events will financially support themselves and any extra remaining will of course be a bonus.

National minimum wage is due to increase from 1[st] April and so the staff hourly rates will be raised accordingly, however due to the huge amount of dedication the staff have and how hard they work, and the fact that we are in a better position we will increase them slightly more than we have in the past.

Over the last year they have been a few occasions where the taps in the toilets have been left running over night by those hiring the building, upon further discussion it was agreed that to change the taps to push taps would be a lot of expense for probably very little gain and so it was decided to hold off on this for now and to monitor the situation.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Alan for all he does, he is always on hand and has been very busy with jobs around the Centre, recently changing the taps on the handwash sink in the kitchen, he also fitted a thermostat to stop the water from scalding.

Thanks again must be made to Stuart Prince for all his hard work throughout the Centre, he volunteers his time each morning and for all events and the difference he has made to the centre is outstanding, the money saved by not having to pay out on a cleaner is huge and about £3,000, if not now more a year.

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2025

1. General information

2. Statement of compliance

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Judgements and key sources of uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

8

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2025

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure is inclusive of VAT as the charity is not registered for VAT.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense as they fall due.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 25% reducing balance Freehold property - 0%

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Government Grants

Government grant income is recognised on a receivable basis. Where a restriction is placed on the use of the grant, the amount of the grant is included in restricted funds. Grants that are receivable for purposes of giving immediate financial support to entity with no future related costs

9

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2025

are recognised in income in the period in which it became receivable. Unrestricted grants that cover a specified period are accounted for within accruals and deferred income where appropriate.

Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees under auto enrolment. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred, are included within salary costs, and represent contributions payable by the company.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted Funds

General accumulated unrestricted funds represent the funds of the charity that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and may be applied in achieving any of the objectives of the charity as decided by the trustees.

Designated Funds

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the charity are also unrestricted but shown as a separate fund category. Amounts are transferred to a designated fund when the restriction placed upon the incoming resource has been realised but the trustees wish to be able to separately identify these assets.

Restricted Funds

These relate to incoming resources which have been received subject to specific conditions imposed by the donor and binding on the Trustees and may only be applied in accordance with the restrictions placed on the donation. Upon realisation of the aims of the restricted funds, assets of such funds are transferred to unrestricted or designated funds as appropriate

The Henhayes Centre

Trustees' Annual Report

Year ended 30 April 2025

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Reference and administrative details

Registered charity name The Henhayes Centre Charity registration number 1181781 Principal office and registered The Henhayes Centre office South Street Car Park Crewkerne Somerset TA18 8DA The trustees RJ Prince LEM Staples BAS McNeil R Scrivens EM Jones RE Spencer ND Udall

Structure, governance and management

The Henhayes Centre was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation and is governed by its document dated 22 April 2021. It was previously registered as a charity with the registered charity number of 269179. The assets and surplus were transferred to the CIO at 22 April 2021.

Reference and administrative details including the principle office address and details of trustees who served the charity during the period and up to the date of signing are shown above.

Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Governing document. Formal trustee training is provided on an ad hoc basis as required. All strategic decisions are taken by the trustees, but day-to- day operating decisions relating to ‘The Henhayes Centre’ are delegated to staff.

The Trustees continue to review the major risks to which the charity is exposed, covering all identified, relevant areas including financial risk and risks associated with personnel. Risks have been identified, assessed and safeguards have been put in place to eliminate or mitigate such risks as far as is reasonably possible.

In the management of the Charity and the preparation of these accounts the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Governance Code.

Objectives and activities

The main charitable objectives of the CIO are to provide a building and facilities to elderly and disabled people. This includes the provision of advocacy, advice and information. The building is also available to the wider community for hire.

The CIO provides a range of regular activities for both members and non-members. In carrying out these objectives the Trustees have paid due regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Volunteers

The charity uses volunteers where necessary to minimise costs.

Achievements and performance

The last financial year has been another successful one for The Henhayes Centre, with our staff and volunteers being key to this success. They all work extremely hard to ensure the centre is warm and welcoming, providing good food and entertainment and making sure it is a place that people want to come because they enjoy being here so much.

As reported by Stephanie in her most recent Managers Report the Centre continues to be busy with all the groups and sessions continuing to be well attended, so well attended that the time of the Thursday PhysioFit class had to be amended to ensure the group could use The Willow Room, Mondays class is being monitored in case that also has to move to an alternative slot.

Kate, who is covering Kyra’s maternity leave is doing very well and has quickly become a valued member of our team. We are very pleased with her recruitment.

As advised by Briony at Chalmers Stephanie has been monitoring the finances and our VATable activities remain under the threshold, prices for all our health & wellbeing classes are due to rise from April 1[st] and going forward we will hold off on price increases for our other activities. Membership only went up in October so there is no need for it to rise for a while.

Big Breakfast and Big Roast Lunch fundraisers continue to be busy and enjoyable events, over the next year we will hold a breakfast every other month and 2 roast lunches – one being in June and then the other a Christmas one in December.

Christmas 2024 was a massive success, and everyone involved should be extremely proud of the food and events provided by the centre. We served 78 breakfasts at the Big Christmas Breakfast and 278 Christmas meals during Christmas Lunch Week, these are record breaking numbers and just goes to show how popular The Henhayes Centre now is.

We are excited for July and the 50[th] Anniversary celebrations which are all organised. There will be a gala evening on July 5[th] and an open day with music on July 12[th] . These are not aimed to raise money but more to raise awareness of the centre and to celebrate the huge achievement of running for 50 years. The events will financially support themselves and any extra remaining will of course be a bonus.

National minimum wage is due to increase from 1[st] April and so the staff hourly rates will be raised accordingly, however due to the huge amount of dedication the staff have and how hard they work, and the fact that we are in a better position we will increase them slightly more than we have in the past.

Over the last year they have been a few occasions where the taps in the toilets have been left running over night by those hiring the building, upon further discussion it was agreed that to change the taps to push taps would be a lot of expense for probably very little gain and so it was decided to hold off on this for now and to monitor the situation.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Alan for all he does, he is always on hand and has been very busy with jobs around the Centre, recently changing the taps on the handwash sink in the kitchen, he also fitted a thermostat to stop the water from scalding.

Thanks again must be made to Stuart Prince for all his hard work throughout the Centre, he volunteers his time each morning and for all events and the difference he has made to the centre is outstanding, the money saved by not having to pay out on a cleaner is huge and about £3,000, if not now more a year.

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2025

1. General information

2. Statement of compliance

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Judgements and key sources of uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

8

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2025

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure is inclusive of VAT as the charity is not registered for VAT.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense as they fall due.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 25% reducing balance Freehold property - 0%

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Government Grants

Government grant income is recognised on a receivable basis. Where a restriction is placed on the use of the grant, the amount of the grant is included in restricted funds. Grants that are receivable for purposes of giving immediate financial support to entity with no future related costs

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2025

are recognised in income in the period in which it became receivable. Unrestricted grants that cover a specified period are accounted for within accruals and deferred income where appropriate.

Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees under auto enrolment. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred, are included within salary costs, and represent contributions payable by the company.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted Funds

General accumulated unrestricted funds represent the funds of the charity that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and may be applied in achieving any of the objectives of the charity as decided by the trustees.

Designated Funds

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the charity are also unrestricted but shown as a separate fund category. Amounts are transferred to a designated fund when the restriction placed upon the incoming resource has been realised but the trustees wish to be able to separately identify these assets.

Restricted Funds

These relate to incoming resources which have been received subject to specific conditions imposed by the donor and binding on the Trustees and may only be applied in accordance with the restrictions placed on the donation. Upon realisation of the aims of the restricted funds, assets of such funds are transferred to unrestricted or designated funds as appropriate
